I loved this game when I conquered it in the early nineties on the BBC micro. This version brings back great memories but is still a ways off from being nearly as good. The challenge is the controls. I play on a Note 3 and they are currently spread really far across the screen. I think a nice pad in each corner would make this awesome.

This is a slick looking and sounding remake, lost a little with on-screen controls that can get in the way on occasion and block your view (on a small screen). There is a tilt control by default, but imo the on-screen buttons without tilt work better with practice. An update is arguably necessary to give a split screen mode where the controls are underneath the game window, but it's still worth a look

Needs a small all directions pad bottom left of screen. There are no left and right buttons! Tilt control is awful to use. And up and down buttons are two far apart! Once improved I will reinstall. Delighted one of my childhood games has been rehashed, but needs a bit of work yet.

All the effort is wasted by dire controls. I tried tilt and arrows all useless. Needs a sliding d pad .

This would be great if the controls worked properly. After a while, the character won't go up the ladder anymore.

Excellent graphics and sound but the but the controls let it down "Up / Down" arrows are too far apart, where the "Left / Right" arrows are fine Good recreation of an old classic just a pity about the controls.

I've tried different controls in options but none are any good any chance of having the controls closer together to hard to play at the moment 😢

Quite possibly the worst controls on a game I have ever seen. You are properly wasting your time getting out of bed in the morning. If you are thinking about paying homage to any other games please dont

The controls are awful. They're also flakey - first game I was able to move left and right. Subsequent games, it just shot off to the right. About to uninstall after 5 mins.

Would have given it 5* but it's lost it's original annoying sound fx and bgm great job on a great platform game though

I love this game. Used to play it at school and it brings back some great memories. One of my all time favourites. Thank you so much for bringing this to android.

Not played this in decades. Great game, played it on both the acorn electron and zx spectrum 48k. Those were the days. Thanks for bringing back those memories of fun times.

I use to play this game on the ZX Spectrum, which I still have and it still works. Although controls are different for obvious reasons, once you get use to them it's OK. Though prefer the Spectrum version with keyboard rather than touch screen.

Played this when i was a child and loved it,thanks for bringing it back,controls can be a little tricky but the same could be said 30+years ago absolute classic

Impossible to control comfortably which is a shame as this could have been great fun...

Latest update with the new on screen controls instead of tilt now makes this well worth 5 stars smooth easy game play just like the original but better.

Almost like the Chuckie Egg I spent hours playing in the early 80's on the Acorn Electron. But maybe my memory is faded.

I can't control anything on this game :( Please bring the original sounds and pleaseeeeee fix those controls for the love of God.

Lee. H. Sep 21, 2015     

Would be 5 stars if controls were improved. Would even be willing to pay if controls were better. Good job on recreating the game tho

Ger. R. Sep 13, 2014     

Really good but needs the ability to save your game and restart from where you left off! Otherwise it would have been 5 stars. Does bring back memories though.

Squ. X. Nov 16, 2015     

Or you just end up doing the same levels repeatadly 😒

Kev. B. May 23, 2014     

Just one of the best games released. First played it on the BBC model b then the commodore 64. Now a days I play it on the wii, PC and now android.

Not keen on the controls but that is cause I'm an old fart

Phi. M. Jan 25, 2014     

Personaly I think the controls are too spaced out ..a d pad type in one corner would be better .also you have to be almost pixel perfect under a ladder to use it..one pixel out and you cant , even though you are right under it..makes it too frustrating to enjoy really...shame

Cant believe how good this game was in 80s wahoo thanks guys

Gus. F. Oct 26, 2013     

Might have nostalgic value for some, but the playability on tablet is poor.

Lee. W. Mar 11, 2015     

Works perfectly on Sony sp, this takes me back to my zx spectrum days
